Advanced Search tips:
Use "All Fields (no full text)" to search for information about an item (title, creator, subject, etc.).
Use "All Fields (with full text)" to include the transcribed text of books, newspapers, manuscripts, and other documents in your search.
Use quotation marks to search as a phrase.
Use "+" before a term to make it required.
Use "-" before a word or phrase to exclude it.
Use "OR", "AND", and "NOT" within a search field to create complex boolean logic. You can also use parentheses.
Truncation and wildcards are not supported (word-stemming is done automatically).
For an open-ended date range limit (e.g. before 1850, after 1900, etc.) leave either the 'Start' or 'End' field blank in the 'Year' section.
If a date range is entered in the form in the 'Year' section, undated items will not be included in the search results.
If no boxes are checked in the 'Format' or 'Institution' limit, all values will be included.
